Des Easton loves Long Distance Motorcycle Riding!\nTraveling by motorcycle is fun, exhilarating but pretty energy zapping. Traveling hundreds of miles a day, day after day, sounds exhausting, But that is what retiree Des does .. for fun!\nMembers of \u2018Far Riders\u2019 and the \u2018Iron Butt\u2019 groups set themselves challenges of long distance rides most bikers would not consider. But don\u2019t get the idea that this is a dangerous undertaking. They plan and practice, sometimes for years, before attempting these feats, and travel strictly in accordance with the law and speed limits.\nDes explains the discipline and preparation which has allowed him to complete twenty thousand kilometers in twenty days. A challenge most of us wouldn\u2019t even consider driving in a car. But he and his friends love it.\nHe describes the routine required, from planning fuel stops to committing to a special diet. Your first thought may be .. \u201cI bet they cheat,\u201d but he nails that thought by explaining the protocols and confirmations riders have to complete for their trips to be formally recognized by their association.\nLong distance motorcycle riding is certainly not for every\xa0retiree, but if you are an experienced motorcyclist this is a new challenge, and a new group of slightly deranged fanatics you can hook up with. Even if you don\u2019t ride, this is a great tale of courage and achievement. And Des tells a really gross story about one of his exploits!!\nWeb sites mentioned in the interview:\nFar Riders website: www.farriders.com\nIron Butt Association website: www.ironbutt.com\nSpecial Thanks to:\n\n* Angie Strehlow who helps us get great guests that help us with our retirement lifestyle while keeping everything on track\u2026and helps with these show notes!\n* Les Briney, my husband, and Danny Ozment of Emerald City Pro who edits the show and makes my guests and me sound terrific\n* Henry Shapiro, host of Retired Excited that airs on Fridays\n* YOU for telling your friends about the show, leaving comments below and sharing episodes you really like on Facebook, and reviewing the show on iTunes\n\nThis post\xa0about retirement and\xa0Retirement Lifestyle first appeared on\xa0http://RockYourRetirement.com
